I live on the beach. I've lived in the Ocean State. And we basically only go on trips to places with beaches. So, I've grown to appreciate the qualities of one beach over another and the uniqueness of every beach. No matter where you go, you never have to be far from sand. This time, our toes are in the Pacific. Here's day three of our Cali road trip:

This was Del Mar. We didn't go to the beach, but their downtown was amazing! One thing I noticed about California was that Starbucks were on every corner! That's how Dunkin' is in Rhode Island, but it just added to the feel of California!

This was the Del Mar Library. I am in loveeee with my local library, but this one was just so pretty and welcoming looking!

The very famous, Laguna Beach!

We were walking the streets of Laguna looking for small decor pieces for our new house. It honestly was not my favorite place, but it was beautiful.

This was a small surfing town/cove called Carriffe. It was your typical small surf town filled with little beach houses, surf shacks, and yepp, surfers.

We passed through Newport Beach and drove around on this cool road. The beach was beautiful, but unfortunately, all of my pictures didn't come out very well. Sorry!

Huntington Beach! The Pier was beautiful and the beaches were awesome!

And then there was L.A. We just passed through because we really had no time to stop and this was one place we had really no desire to see. But, it was definitely very different from New York or Philly. It was all very spaced out and there was definitely a lot of smog.

S.S. Prep's Captain

I'm a junior in high school who can usually be found on the water. I love sailing, traveling, agendas, reading, taking pictures, helping people, beach cruisers, writing, nail polish, excersising, cooking, headbands and anything and everything preppy...and pink!

The Crew

Surfer Sister-aka my best friend on the planet! She may be younger than me, but we are practically twins. We look the same age, she acts my age (in a good way), and we have the same friends. She has the cutes Anthropologie-inspired style and will probably be mentioned in most of my posts!

Beachy Mama-aka my mom (betcha didn't guess that one!) She's an interior designer with more creativity than Better Homes and Gardens. She's also the one whose been influencing us to spend our days on the beach from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Captain Dad-aka my dad (another stumper!) He is the one who started me in sailing and pushed me to always stick it out, no matter how many times I flipped my little boat. We are so close and I don't know what I would do without him.

Lilly Lover-aka my best friend. At this point, she's a member of the family. We met when we were 5 years old at our yacht club and have been best friends ever since. She is my preppiest friend and the only person who tolerates my constant addiction to planning out everything.

Skim/Swim Sweetie-my other best friend. She's the epitome of a beach girl and we spend most of our time together in the car, just driving to school, which is how we became so close.

Fashion Friend-My go to girl when it comes to fashion, college, and basically anything. Her fashion sense will be noted very often, because she knows more about style than most college students in fashion because she's grown up in it. She is the kindest person ever and never ceases to surprise me.

....these are my first mates, but you'll be introduced to the rest of the crew soon :]
